We are happy to add a new brand to the squad... 5TH COLUMN. Here's a sampling of the spring collection we now have at the shop as well as this brand bio courtesy of High Snobiety.

The 5th Column is a new NY/LA-based brand from Jason Calabretta and Anwar Carrots. Having worked with and designed for the likes of Rogue Status, Major DC and Black Scale, the two felt it was time to spread a new movement. Similar to their predecessors, 5th Column embraces a darker design aesthetic with a flea as their representative symbol. “The guerrilla fights the war of the flea, and his military enemy suffers the dog’s disadvantages: too much to defend; too small, ubiquitous, and agile an enemy to come to grips with.”
